<h4>Chapter 1643: Chapter 1642: Trouble in the Capital City</h4>


    Su Yang had always felt that these people might be the reincarnations of those Land Immortals.


    However, thinking carefully, that doesn’t seem right. If it were reincarnation, maintaining the aura of the previous life is basically impossible. Moreover, reincarnation is already a very difficult thing, and such arge group of people reincarnating together is unlikely.


    Later, Su Yang thought these people might be possession, but that also didn’t make sense. So, Su Yang really couldn’t figure out their situation. But the mystery of these people indeed perplexed Su Yang.


    The assassins were said to be investigating this matter earlier, butter they got caught up in other things and had already left. ording to Ye Sword Saint, the assassins could only return during the dark of the moon. Su Yang didn’t know what they were busy with, nor whether they had uncovered the secrets of Liao Yuxuan and the others.


    But now, with the assassins absent and Liao Yuxuan and his group starting to act, the matter has be even more troublesome, even elusive.


    However,pared to the four Major Sects and those overseas individuals, Liao Yuxuan’s threat isn’t actually that big. After all, the four Major Sects and overseas sects have Land Immortals, whereas Liao Yuxuan’s group, though possibly reincarnated Land Immortals, are not Land Immortals themselves, therefore easier to deal with!


    "Mr. Zhang, thank your father for me!" Su Yang cupped his hands. "This information is very useful to me!"


    "You’re wee. The first information is what we gathered, and the second was told to my father by the assassins before leaving." Zhang Congwen nodded with a smile. "Su Alliance Leader, the world’s situation is difficult to discern, and the state of affairs hard to decide. Who are the good people and who are the bad ones is also hard to tell. As the representative of the Human World, the ultimate key is your own judgment!"


    Su Yang was stunned. What did Zhang Congwen mean by this? Isn’t the situation clear yet? Is there still a distinction between good and bad people among these individuals?


    Zhang Congwen did not further exin to Su Yang. He stood up to escort Su Yang out of the Zhang Family, then ordered the door to be shut.


    Gazing at the closed Zhang Family gate, Su Yang fell into contemtion. The information obtained from this visit to the Zhang Family was indeed plentiful andplex, and Su Yang couldn’t figure everything out immediately. However, the messages about Ghost Tomb and Liao Yuxuan reminded Su Yang that he must be wary of these individuals.


    Shortly after leaving the Zhang Family, Su Yang received a message from a prominent family in Capital City. This family held a significant position there and, notably, had never conflicted with Su Yang, making them one of the few families with a rtively good rtionship with him.


    Moreover, this family had always supported ck Widow. After Su Yang’s identity as Su Zhan’s son was revealed, this family naturally began to support Su Yang. Therefore, from a certain angle, this family could be considered Su Yang’s confidants.


    While Su Yang was in the Zhang Family talking with Zhang Congwen, an incident urred within this family. Someone broke in and kidnapped the granddaughter of their Family Head, causing quite a stir.


    Receiving this news left Su Yang somewhat dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen in today’s Capital City?


    It’s known that since Su Yang’s identity as Su Zhan’s son became widespread, the Capital City’s major families have beenpliant. Under Su Yang’s leadership, no conflicts have arisen among the families, and no one dared to cause trouble within Capital City.


    Yet, at this moment, someone dared to cause trouble, and it’s an incident of considerable scale, naturally surprising everyone.


    "Investigate who did it?" Su Yang ordered his aide Zhao Huzi while instructing the driver to head straight to the family.


    Zhao Huzi promptly arranged for people to look into the matter, but by the time Su Yang arrived at the family’s residence, no news hade back yet.


    At the scene, the family members were anxiously running around, and the chaos was palpable.


    Seeing Su Yang arrive, the Family Head was the first to greet him, trembling as he spoke, "Su Alliance Leader, please... save my granddaughter..."


    "Don’t worry, I will definitely bring her back!" Su Yang nodded. He had met the Family Head’s granddaughter before, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a cute youngdy. Unlike other unruly girls, she was usually very quiet, spending most of her time at home, rarely venturing outside, a typical nobledy.


    Logically, how could such a girl encounter this predicament?


    Moreover, this family has always been gentle in their dealings, rarely making enemies, and had even fewer adversaries.


    Under such circumstances, the abduction of the Family Head’s granddaughter is truly baffling.


    Led by the Family Head, Su Yang entered the scene at the back.


    Arriving there, Su Yang immediately sensed a strong murderous aura. His brows wrinkled instantly as he scanned the surroundings, detecting faint traces of ck magic in the air.


    Looking around, Su Yang spoke gravely, "Who are these dead people?"


    "Someone died?" The crowd was taken aback, and the Family Head replied, "No one died here, there were no sounds of fighting. We only knew something happened after discovering someone had taken my granddaughter!"


    Su Yang shook his head and spoke sternly, "Five people died here, and their strength wasn’t weak. You should investigate whether they’re members of your family!"


    "Really?" The Family Head was confused and quickly ordered an investigation of his own family’s situation, remaining nervously by Su Yang’s side. "Su Alliance Leader, there are no signs of fighting or blood, no bodies, how... how could there be deaths here..."


    "Of course, there are no bodies!" Su Yang spoke coldly. "The opponent has already devoured all the corpses, how could there be any left!"


    "What?" The Family Head’s eyes widened. "Devoured... devoured the corpses? Is this... something a human would do?"


    "The opponent should be a master trained in the Demon Sect’s Secret Technique!" Su Yang carefully sensed the surrounding situation and said gravely, "Moreover, he cultivates the Devouring Technique, able to absorb others’ soul and essence for his own use. The five who died here were devoured by him, leaving nothing behind."


    "Oh my!" The Family Head panicked. "Su Alliance Leader, then... then my granddaughter, is she... is she in danger? Su Alliance Leader, I... I beg you, save my granddaughter, save her..."


    The Family Head began to cry as he clutched Su Yang’s arm, pleading on his knees.
